Carcinoembryonic antigen blood test. Last reviewed: September 20, 2013. The CEA test measures the level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood. CEA is a protein normally found in the tissue of a developing baby in the womb.The blood level of this protein disappears or becomes very low after birth.he CEA test measures the level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood.
If the pH of your blood falls below 7.35, the result is a condition called acidosis, a state that leads to central nervous system depression. Severe acidosis-where blood pH falls below 7.00 - can lead to a coma and even death. If the pH of your blood rises above 7.45, the result is alkalosis.
However over-acidity can negatively affect blood pH and other pH levels in the body. Note: pH levels are a measure of the acid/alkaline ratio in the body ranging from 0 to 14. Acidic is pH between 0 and 7. 7 pH is neutral and between 7 and 14 pH is alkaline. The body compensates for acidic imbalance by using its own alkaline minerals and calcium reserves found in the muscles and bones. A diet that does not contain enough minerals will trigger a build up of acids in the cells- or acidosis.
